Taiga
Also known as: Taiga #2
Taiga Strain Overview
Taiga is an autoflowering hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, representing an innovative cross between an auto-flowering ruderalis/indica and Dutch Passion's classic mostly-sativa Power Plant. The strain was developed through a time-consuming breeding process to maintain the potency and yield characteristics of Power Plant while carrying forward the auto-flowering trait. The Taiga strain carries a unique genetic heritage that includes the resilience of ruderalis, the body-centric effects of indica, and the creative spark of sativa, with approximately 15-20% ruderalis genetics, contributing to its characteristic hardiness and adaptability.
Physically, Taiga presents as a small bushy, but not overly branchy, plant that grows large, compact green buds reminiscent of its Power Plant parent. This bud has long airy and piecey foxtail-shaped light minty green nugs with dark green leaves, sparse amber hairs, and a thick frosty layer of amber crystal trichomes and sweet sticky resin. The strain exhibits a flowering time of approximately 63 days and is only available as feminized seeds, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with a total growing cycle from seeds to potent buds in just 8-10 weeks.

Taiga Strain Growing Information
Taiga is undemanding when it comes to the fertilizing regime, making it a good choice for beginners who can often struggle with more exacting nutrient requirements. While plants always benefit from good nutrients and light, this variety still thrives when handed less than optimal conditions. Indoors Taiga does well under a light cycle of 20 hours on / 4 hours off. Whether grown inside or in a sunny outdoor environment, Taiga grows from seeds to potent buds in just 8-10 weeks, with half-gallon containers being sufficient for a good harvest. Even outdoor growers with the shortest of summers will find that this productive strain performs well, as Taiga is robust enough to make the most of the growing conditions with which it is presented. Low-stress training (LST) techniques are particularly effective for Taiga, and applying this method can increase light penetration and airflow, leading to a healthier plant structure and potentially increasing yield by up to 20%.
